Downtown Condos -
Kendall Drive
Transforming Miami-Dade’s “Edge City”

The Master Plan and Overlay Code for Downtown Kendall
is the product of a June 1998 charrette dealing with a high density
urban center in Miami-Dade County. The study area contains
transportation corridors and intersections of four heavily traveled,
regional roadways that crisscross a high intensity of retail, office,
hotels, and nearby residential neighborhoods. The study area has
experienced remarkably fast growth, but poor pedestrian accessibility
and visual blight are prominent in Downtown Kendall, as in most such
auto-oriented suburbs.

Dadeland Kendall Change Over Time
Thirty years ago Kendall Drive was a narrow country road and Dadeland
Mall’s first buildings were sprouting at the rural edge of a young
metropolis. Today this location is imbedded in the suburban growth that
followed, closer to Downtown Miami and the coastal edge than to the
western or southern reaches of metropolitan development. The region’s
recent commitment of re-directing growth away from rural areas and back
to the
transportation corridors of the earliest settlements, is slowly taking
form with the first building projects heeding the visionary call of
Eastward, Ho! The Downtown Kendall plan is a response to this vision.
Mixed-use buildings will front upon a network of interconnected streets,
parking garages will be placed mid-block to replace the vast expanses of
surface parking, and transit is being re-integrated into the area.

Town
Center and Dadeland AreaThe
Dadeland urban core is rapidly becoming one of the most
desirable residential and commercial destinations in all
of South Florida. It has developed over the past
thirty-years into an important central core of
Miami-Dade, with a location that is nothing short of
amazing. One of the most compelling aspects of Dadeland
is its appeal to the international market. Every year,
thousands of people visit Dadeland Mall for its
shopping. Many of those Dadeland area visitors now own
homes in the exciting new residential developments that
fill the Dadeland condo area. Town
Center at Dadeland will be a blend of commercial, retail
and residential condominiums, all within an urban town
center, accented by wide, pedestrian-friendly walkways
and plazas. With access to mass transit, shopping and
every conceivable amenity, Town Center at Dadeland, the
urban triangle is bordered by U.S. 1, Kendall Drive and
the Palmetto Expressway has become one of the
country's most desirable addresses.

DadelandCondos
-by Chamber South

The plan for Downtown Kendall was instigated by the
local chamber of commerce, property owners, and neighbors. In a public
in summer 1998, Dadeland Mall area business leaders and
citizens gathered together to chart a course for evolving the thriving
suburban mall and surrounding sprawl into a metropolitan center that
better leverages its unique place in the regional transportation system.
The Master Plan and Overlay Code for "Downtown Kendall" resulted from a
June 1998 study dealing with an emerging "edge city" urban center in
Miami-Dade County. The study area lies at the convergence of several
regional transit corridors (including two Metrorail stations) and the
intersections of four heavily-traveled arterial roadways that crisscross
an intense mixture of retailing, offices, hotels, and residential
neighborhoods. The study area also includes the famous Dadeland Mall.
While the area has experienced remarkably fast growth, the development
is extremely fragmented; poor pedestrian accessibility and visual blight
dominate this auto-oriented situation. Dover-Kohl and DPZ collaborated
to produce the plan and a graphic Code, under the direction of a
steering committee created by Chamber South, Miami-Dade County
government, and citizen organizations. One of the county's first
malls, Dadeland features more than 175 specialty shops, anchored by four
large department stores: Burdines, JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, and Saks
Fifth Avenue. Sixteen restaurants serve from the adjacent Treats Food
Court. New retail stores are constantly springing up around this
centerpiece of South Miami suburbia. If you're not in the area, however,
the mall is not worth the trek. Additionally, many non-Spanish-speaking
people are put off by Dadeland because of the predominance of
Spanish-speaking store employees.

Downtown Dadeland Kendall?
"That's right: a downtown Kendall. The phrase itself turns heads. The
suburban community of Kendall in south Miami-Dade Country has many of
the ingredients of the modern metropolis, but lacks a proud,
recognizable center. That is about to change. The area around Dadeland
Mall and Datran Center is ready to mature into a proper town center. It
is slated for a new generation of growth and change…it will emerge as a
cosmopolitan, urbane district and a lasting economic powerhouse. The
challenge is to grow in an orderly pattern that benefits everyone. The
area has long been poised for high intensity development. Since it
opened in the 1960's, Dadeland has gradually become a regional
destination and an international sensation…Expressways have provided
even greater access to the area. Miami-Dade Transit Authority focused
the Metrorail system at Dadeland because of the area's growing regional
importance. The Datran Center with its mix of office and hotel functions
is a result of public policies channeling growth to specific activity
centers.

Meet Your New Neighbors:

By Marilyn Bowden
One of the nation's largest residential developers is building a condo
community in the bustling Dadeland Mall area.
Fairfield Development, headquartered in Texas, has 35 years of
development experience nationwide, but
Vice President Omar Del Rio said the company's focus in the Miami area
has been to sell projects under construction or rehabilitation, often to
condo converters.
Toscano, the company's Dadeland project, represents a departure from
that strategy. Mr. Del Rio said it's the first South Florida development
Fairfield will retain through completion.
"Fairfield loves markets with high barriers to entry such as Southern
California, the District of Columbia and Boston," Mr. Del Rio said.
"These are markets where it's tougher and more expensive to build and
where it takes more time to get a project entitled. This is where we
have our expertise."
Although Fairfield has been a major apartment developer, he said, "due
to years of low interest rates, the rental market throughout the country
lost a good deal of clientele, especially on the high end. Everyone is
buying, and with construction costs going through the roof, it's tough
to make a rental work."
Fairfield announced that sales have begun for Toscano, a 25-story,
396-unit community with ground-level retail that is under construction
at 7360 N. Kendall Dr., across the street from Dadeland Mall in one
direction and Publix in another.

The first phase will be completed early next summer, said Mr. Del Rio.
Ron Shuffield, president of Esslinger Wooten Maxwell Realtors, which is
marketing the condos, said 66 were sold in the first weekend on the
market. He said he anticipates a 50% sellout by the end of this month.
"We are dealing with a lot more users than most projects through the
contacts our salespeople have," he said. "Since the first phase of the
project is visibly under way and will be ready in a year, it's not like
buying during presales."
He said units range from 687 to 2,499 square feet and are priced from
the low $200,000s. Buyers tend to be younger people or empty-nesters, he
said, who want to be near rapid transit and be able to walk to
conveniences. The sales center is in Dadeland Mall next to Saks Fifth
Avenue.
Mr. Shuffield said the Multiple Listing Service shows an inventory of
only 60 existing condos for resale in the 11 square miles between
Kendall Drive, US 1, 136th Street and Florida's Turnpike. "We're selling
about 25 a month," he said, "so that's less than a three-month level of
inventory. It shows there's a real shortage of condo units in this
area."
The county's zoning department lists more than 3,000 condos planned for
the Dadeland area, but Mr. Shuffield said fewer than 1,000 are under
construction. "The buildout will be staggered," he said.

Toscano, designed by Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolf & Associates, will
consist of two main buildings with differing unit styles, Mr. Del Rio
said. The first phase, a five-story building fronting Kendall Drive,
will feature ground-floor retail topped by four levels of residential
units built around a courtyard. The second residential tower will be 25
stories high.

Because the county has mandated concealed parking facilities for
construction near Dadeland, Mr. Del Rio said, residential units will
wrap around the garage. A tri-level bridge connecting the two buildings
to facilitate access to parking will house a gymnasium, he said.
Amenities include a 25,000-square-foot recreational deck with heated
swimming pool and whirlpool spa, a fitness center with cardio and
free-weight equipment, an exercise studio, sauna rooms and a meditation
garden.
Among residential projects planned or under way in Dadeland are
the335-unit Towers of Dadeland at Dadeland North Metrorail station;
Downtown Dadeland Condos, 416 units at Southwest 88th Street and Dadeland
Boulevard; the Colonnade, 555 units at Southwest 82nd Street and
Southwest 72nd Avenue; and Renaissance at Dadeland, 245 units at 8100 SW
72nd Ave.
